OMG... did you guys see that little rocking chair on the P&P prizes list?? It is way too cute, I am in love with it. I hope that it is still there once I get to 400k points LMAO

Spent the evening in emerg. getting re-hydrated. Still throwing up with this pregnancy and no one really knows why. *sigh*

i don't think it's an allergy, more like an intolerance. and is dairy different than lactose? LOLCAT? info needed.

and it's not stomache pain for me like lactose intolerant ppl. my sinuses fill right up and my head goes nuts.

and yes kekes, i took sinus meds..least i thought i did..

lolcat: would lactaid work? or benadryl?

You totally have a dairy intolerance. Lactose intolerance typically causes stomach pain and gas. Though the solution to both types of intolerance is to elminate all milk products from the diet. Lactose intolerant people can still buy those lacto-free cheeses and milk though.

Here are some quotes:
Dr. Michael Klaper (this one will sound wierd, but it is totally true)
"[W]hen the protein of another animal is introduced into one’s immune system, an allergic/immune response is created in many places in the body. A common reaction to such an assault by a foreign protein in our immune system is an outpouring of mucus from the nasal and throat membranes. … The resulting mucus flow can create the chronic runny noses, persistent sore throats, hoarseness, bronchitis, and the recurrent ear infections that plague so many children (and their parents)."

From a Milk Allergy study:
"Cow’s milk allergy, mainly a disease of infancy, is usually manifested within the first two or three months of life. … No age, however, is exempt, and milk allergy may be first detected during adolescence or adulthood."

Dr. Christine Northrup:
"Dairy is a tremendous mucus producer and a burden on the respiratory, digestive, and immune systems." "Patients who eliminate dairy products for an extended period and eat a balanced diet … suffer less from colds and sinus infections."


Anyway, you definately have a milk allergy. So sorry, I love cheese too, and I eliminated all dairy from our diets for this reason.

You CAN buy soy based cheese, lots of grocery stores carry it now. Just look on the label and make sure it is ONLY soy milk made, because some companies call it soy cheese and still throw milk in there. And, I know you might not care about milk itself, but Soymilk is really good now, it has come a LOOOONG way.

Hey there

Checking in to tell everyone I had an amazing time with the family. We went to brunch at my parents place and my brother was totally hanging out with us all. We all went over so my sister's family too. Then we all went home for a bit and just rested and invited back over for dinner, huge roast beef with all the trimmings and rice with peas and carrots and nutmeg and tomatoes (its a back home dish). Soooo good. The kids got spoiled with gifts and tons of money

i lost power for about 5 seconds. so i'm okay. it's just slushy here, school got cancelled but ds had a dr's appt 30 mins away. dh stayed home from work, roads to nasty to take highway to airport. he went back after ds's appt tho.. donno how late he is staying tonight. ds is prolly going to miss tkd.

i have sinus probs, and it must be a cold, cause i've been avoiding dairy. now who else and their dh had sinus caused by dairy..cause i wanna know if it's all milk products or just certain ones. CAUSE I MISS MY CHEEEEEESE.

so i'm stuffy, headachey, pmsy, irritable and tired.

Haven't read all the way thru so someone else may have told you this. Milk stuffs me up something fierce also causes stomach cramps, ice cream the same way but I eat cheese without a problem, don't know why but it never bothers me.

Thanks Kekes Drs appt went fine just took me 2 1/2 hours, totally ridiculous. Only two other people in the waiting room when we got there so figured for once it'd go fast but lmao I love my dr but omg he is slow as molasses. Only good thing about that is he listens to me and talks to me his partner who I used to see just barrels in the room you get a chance to say one thing and out he goes. I have so many multiple problems that it gets really frustrating, I've had drs tell me I can only have one problem per visit???? If I need to see them for anything else I have to come back, the idiots. The one dr told me he doesn't see geriatric patients (old people) because they have too much wrong with them and despite my age I'm like a geriatric patient, well geez doc so sorry to ruin your day with my crappy health . Didn't see him for long.

thanks, I seen a trailer for it during the Scream awards..looked awesome.

Watched The Ruins last night and was disappointed, thought it would have been better, alas it wasnt..

I saw The Ruins. Wasn't too bad. There's a longer trailer out for Friday the 13th. You can see a lot more of Jared in it.

Hi everyone, just popped in to say hi. I have been busting my butt doing Christmas shopping, decorating and wrapping. Yes, I only have 4 more gifts to buy plus my soon to be 21 year old's b-day gift. I have been really lucky this year with free giftcard from points. I have only spent $100.00 this is a first.

GREAT!! We have
A FREEZE WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING.

THEN A SNOW ADVISORY FROM SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY MAYBE EVEN LONGER!..

Well looks like I better get my butt moving over the next few day.
So I can stay home and off the streets.
Will be on sometime tomorrow son has testing and I have grocery
shopping to do. Then WED and FRI I guess I will finish Christmas shopping.
Thursday he has testing again.

Have a great night.

Thanks PF I've never seen 3 foot stocking but we were in walgreens tonight and they had some stockings I just loved. Used to have some neat ones and DH had a Dallas cowboys stocking but didn't replace those yet really think I'll go to walgreens saturday and get a couple of those. With the kids to buy for I wouldn't be able to fill DH's stocking if it were any bigger. This year we can't afford to much with my meds to buy but DH is adding on to our flex spending card for medical so hopefully next year it'll last all year and we won't have to skimp for Christmas. Got the kids and dh all just 3 things each. OMG the slippers I got for my dd came today so cute!!! She loves frogs and these have little frogs on them that when you press their tummys they ribbit lol, she'll love em

[roseofblack25]

Sure come on, it has to be warmer than where you guys are.

My auntie is jealous that we have all this snow but I'm jealous of her cause she lives in south Il and doesnt have a ton of snow!
